Megaman X8 - PC Game
As a longtime fan of the Mega Man franchise, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed with last year’s poorly realized Mega Man X7. Though it certainly deserved some credit for trying to push the Blue Bomber into the modern age, the development team’s heart just didn’t seem to be in it. So while it’s true that the game was heavy on the 3D and had its own fair share of cel-shaded polygonal action, the spotty camera work and clunky control didn’t seem to be worth it.
Luckily Capcom learned from its mistakes and has gone back to the drawing board with Mega Man X8 — an obviously improved and thoroughly more playable mix of 2D and 3D that series fans should really enjoy. Of course there are still a few snags that keep it from being on the same level as the classic Super NES and early PSOne versions, but even so, this effort makes enough improvements to almost erase the bad memory that is X7.
